“The Bafana Bafana star was killed in 2014.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim is explicitly supported by one cross-reference from the Sowetan. However, the other provided evidence consists of NBA merchandise (Orlando Magic) and unrelated Wikipedia entries for a judge and a football club. Since only one independent news source confirms the fact and no authoritative reference (like a dedicated Senzo Meyiwa Wikipedia page) was provided in the evidence set, it is classified as single_source.
